Infant & Toddler Centre

A little bit about us....

Welcome to the Infant and Toddler Centre. We are a team of seven teachers who are commited to the care and education of children under the age of 3. We are licenced for 30 children per day, with up to 15 under 2 year olds. Our opening hours are 7.30am - 5.30pm during which your child will receive 3 meals including a hot cooked lunch.

With the majority of our staff being early childhood qualified, we understand how important these early years are when it comes to the growth and development of these younger minds. Our team philosophy reflects our beliefs and values with working with and alongside infants and toddlers. We invite you to click the link below to read our full philosophy.

We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, an educational philosophy that is based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community. We have a supportive and enriching environment that reflects childrens interests and allows them to explore and discover in a self-chosen curriculum.

Our Curriculum

Here at Flanshaw Infant and Toddler Centre, children are given opportunities to investigate and discover in an environment that captures their interests and supports their learning. Our skilled teachers ensure that there are a range of experiences for the children to explore and enagage in and where they are able to share learning opportunities with others. Our teaching and learning philosophy and practices are informed by the New Zealand early childhood curriculum Te Whaariki.
